The  object  of  this  invention  is  to  attach  a 
whiffletree  to  a  plow  clevis  in  such  a  manner 
that  the  whiffletree  will  not  get  under  the  horses 
feet  in  turning  the  plow,  it  being  kept  up  by 
the  pin  g;  and  also,  that  the  beam  will  have  a 
much  better  purchase  on  the  plow  in  turning 
it,  and  keep  the  beam  steady  in  heavy  plowing  ; 
at  the  same  time  the  improved  clevis  will  ad- 
mit of  all  the  adjustments  desirable,  and  it  will 
be  strong  and  substantial. 

Claim.  Combining  with  clevis  A,  construct- 
ed and  applied  to  the  plow  beam,  as  described, 
the  forked  coupling  iron,  consisting  of  the  arms

33,066.    R.  A.  BLAIR  and  JOHN  B. 

REED,    New    Philadelphia,    Ohio.      Plow 

Clevises.     Aug.  20,  1861. 

The  shanks  of  the  clevis  in  this  plow  extend 
back  and  are  secured  by  a  bolt  to  the  beam  near 
the  plow  standard.  On  the  front  part  of  the 
beam  is  fitted  a  rectangular  metal  clasp,  which 
is  allowed  to  slide  in  a  direction  transversely 
with  the  beam.  Through  the  sides  of  the 
clasp  passes  a  screw  rod,  by  turning  which,  the 
clasp  is  made  to  move  the  clevis  one  side  or 
the  other,  and  thus  give  to  the  plow  "  more  or 
less  land  "  as  may  be  required. 

Claim.  The  employment  or  use,  in  com- 
bination with  the  clevis  B,  of  the  clasp  E,  and 
screw  rod  F :  the  whole  being  applied  to 
beam  A  of  the  plow,  substantially  as  and  for 
the  purpose  set  forth. 

36,446.     EDWIN    BEMENT,    Fostoria,

brace,  consisting  of  a  rod  secured  to  the  rear 
of  the  beam  at  its  downward  curve  by  means 
of  lugs,  and  secured  by  nuts.  The  forward 
end  of  the  rods  are  formed  into  links,  which 
pass  over  the  lateral  extension  of  the  clevis  and 
fit  in  a  recess  at  either  end  of  the  same.  The 
pin  upon  which  the  clevis  is  secured  fits  in  a 
slot  in  the  beam,  so  that,  when  the  center  of 
the  clevis  shall  occupy  the  rear  end  of  the  slot, 
the  draught  will  be  constantly  thrown  upon 
the  rods. 

Claim.  The  lateral  braces  C  C,  attached  to 
the  clevis  at  any  point,  and  to  the  hinder  part 
or  downward  curve  of  the  beam,  or  to  the 
standard,  by  means  of  the  lugs  B,  or  their 
equivalent,  in  combination  with  the  slot  Hand 
clevis  bolt  I,  all  these  parts  being  constructed 
and  operating  substantially  as  and  for  the  pur- 
pose set  forth.

plate,  through  which  the  draught-rod  passes, 
and  which  may  be  rotated  on  a  disk  wheel, 
which  itself  may  be  varied  in  its  set  on  the 
notched  end  of  the  beam  ;  the  effect  of  this 
four-fold  toothed  arrangement  being  to  give 
the  draught-rod  any  required  lateral  or  verti- 
cal adjustment  in  its  relation  to  the  end  of  the 
beam.

13.  BANCROFT  WOODCOCK.  Mount 
Pleasant,    Pa.       Plows.      June     14,     1838. 

(A.I.)  to  Patent  dated  June  14,    1837. 

As  described  in  my  patent,  the  reversing 
cutter  was  made  flat  on  the  side  which  fitted 
into  the  recess  on  the  land  side,  made  to  re- 
ceive it.  I  now  cast  it  with  three  projections 
a  a  a  on  the  three  cutting  edges,  rising-  in  a 
regular  slope  from  each  of  the  cutting  edges 
and  undercut  at  each  of  the  edges,  so  as  to 
slip  over  upon  the  front  edge  of  the  land  side 
and  thus  to  protect  it  from  being  worn,  and 
at  the  same  time  to  hold  the  reversing  cutters 
in  place.  Instead  of  fastening  the  reversing 
cutter  by  a  wedge,  I  now  fasten  it  by  means' 
of  a  countersunk  screw,  recesses  are  cast  in 
the  band  side  to  admit  two  of  the  projections 
a  a,  while  the  third  is  in  use. 

Claim.  The  forming  of  the  projections  a  a  a, 
upon  my  said  reversing  cutter,  in  the  man- 
ner set  forth,  to  slip  over  upon  and  protect  the 
three  edges  of  the  land  side, 

2,529.     HOWARD    DELANO,    Motts- 

ville,  N.  Y.     Colters.     Apr.  1,  1842. 

Claim.  The  combination  and  employment 
with  a  plow  of  a  revolving  colter  which  is  ser- 
rated or  furnished  with  teeth  around  its  peri- 
phery, so  sharpened  as  to  constitute  cutting 
edges,  and  to  operate  substantially  in  the  man- 
ner herein  set  forth. 

5,526.  FREDERICK  C.  SMITH,  Har- 
pers Ferry,  Va.  Plow  Colters.  Apr.  25, 
1848. 

The  nature  of  my  invention  consists  in  the 
combination  of  a  colter  with  the  share  and 
mold-board  in  such  a  manner  that  the  colter, 
serves  not  only  the  purpose  of  a  colter,  but 
also  as  a  cutting-edge  at  the  front  of  the  mold- 
board  and  as  a  supporting-brace  for  securing 
the  share  and  mold-board  to  each  other. 

Claim.  The  combination  of  the  inclined 
self-clearing  colter  and  point  (in  one  piece 
with  the  share  and  mold-board  in  such  a  man- 
ner that  the  colter  serves  not  only  the  pur- 
pose of  a  colter,  but  also  as  a  cutting  edge  for 
the  mold-board  and  a  supporting  brace  for 
giving  stiffness  and  strength  to  the  share  and 
mold-board,  substantially  as  herein  set  forth, 
not  confining  my  self  to  the  identical  manner 
of  accomplishing  this  object,  as  herein  set 
forth,  but  to  some-thing  substantially  the 
same.

The  cutter  B  swivels  in  the  beam  A,  and  is 
supported  by  an  arm  near  its  edge  so  as  to  fol- 
low the  direction  of  the  point  of  the  beam. 

I  do  not  claim  a  cutting  wheel  in  connec- 
tion with  a  plow,  as  this  has  been  done  re- 
peatedly.

This  invention  relates  to  a  new  and  useful 
improvement  in  that  class  of  plows  which  have 
supplemental  shares  attached  for  the  purpose 
of  removing  the  sod  or  surfaces-soil  separately 
from  the  earth  turned  over  by  the  main  share 
and  mold-board,  and  to  throw  said  sod  or  sur- 
face-soil into  the  bottom  of  the  furrow  made 
at  the  previous  passage  or  bout  of  the  plow, 
so  that  the  lower  soil  turned  over  by  the  main 
share  or  plow  will  be  thrown  directly  on  the 
top  of  the  sod  or  surface-soil. 

Claim.  The  supplemental  share  D,  con- 
structed substantially  as  shown  and  described,

Filed  Aug.  7,  1877, 

From  the  lower  end  of  a  staff  or  handle  pro- 
jebtsat  right  angles  a  jaw  or  finger.  At  a  short 
distance  from  this  is  a  stud,  which  supports  one 
end  of  a  rod,  the  lower  end  of  which  rests  in 
the  permanent  jaw.  A  moving  jaw  slides  upon 
the  rod  and  a  groove  in  the  handle,  and  is  held 
in  contact  with  the  permanent  jaw  by  a  coiled 
spring.  A  rod  connects  the  movable  jaw  with 
an  angle-lever  near  the  upper  end  of  the  handle, 
by  which  the  spring  is  contracted,  thus  separat- 
ing the  jaws. 

Claim.  The  herein-described  implement  for 
laying  tile,  consisting  of  the  handle  and  jaw  A 
B,  movable  spring-jaw  C,  having  rod  E,  and

ISAAC  SNEIDER,  Mount  Pleasant,  Pa. 
Plows.     July  2,  1836. 

The  improvement  in  the  land-side,  cutter, 
shear  and  point,  as  before  described,  enabling 
the  farmers  to  change  or  reverse  the  position 
of  the  nose  and  shear  four  times,  and  produc- 
ing a  new  cutting  edge  each  time. 

1,357.  SAMUEL  WITHEROW  and 
D.  PEIRCE,  Gettysburg,  Pa.  Plows. 
Oct.  5,  1839. 

Claim.  Giving  to  our  mold-board  the  form 
of  a  segment  of  a  cycloid,  conversily  on  its 
face,  in  lines  leading  from  front  to  rear,  and 
concavely  in  the  lines  of  the  ascent  of  the  fur- 
row slice,  in  the  manner  and  for  the  purpose 
herein  described. 

2,626.  CORNELIUS  BERGEN,  Brook- 
lyn, N.  Y.  Plows.  May  16,  1842. 
Claim.  1.  The  peculiarity  of  the  form  of 
the  mold-board  as  produced  by  the  combina- 
tion of  the  increased  twist  and  wedge,  the  ad- 
vantages of  which  are  that  it  materially  les- 
sens friction,  and  consequently  the  traction  or 
draft  is  much  diminished,  the  covering  is  more 
uniform  on  every  part  of  it,  which  causes  it  to 
do  its  work  in  a  superior  manner. 

2.  The  manner  in  which  the  point  and  share 
are  formed  and  held  to  the  mold-board,  the 
peculiarity  of  their  construction,  and  the  man- 
ner in  which  they  are  held  in  their  place  by 
means  of  the  gripes,  which  enables  them  to  be 
made  of  cast-iron  instead  of  wrought,  suffici- 
ently strong  for  all  purposes,  and  consequently 
the  annual  cost  is  much  cheaper. 

3.  The  additional  piece  to  heighten  the 
mold-board  when  desired,  the  advantages  of 
which  are  that  a  second  slice  may  be  taken  out 
of  the  bottom  of  a  furrow  previously  made  and 
cast  completely  above,  which  answers  the  pur- 
pose of  trenching  as  performed  with  a  spade. 
It  is  also  of  great  service  when  plowing  weedy 
ground,  all  as  herein  described. 

3,069.    HARVEY  H.  MAY,   Galesburg, 
.    111.      Plows.      May  2,  1843. 

Claim.  The  fastening  of  the  shares  or  edges 
between  jaws,  so  that  a  dull  share  can  be  quick- 
ly taken  out  to  sharpen  or  to  exchange  without 
inconvenience  ;  so  that  the  shares  can  be  made 
to  fit  in  the  field  as  well  as  in  the  shop;  so 
that  the  often  sharpening  of  the  shares  which 
is  so  necessary  on  these  prairies  does  not  spoil 
the  shares  by  drawing  them  from  the  holes  and 
out  of  shape,  as  is  the  case  when  bolts  go 
through  them  ;  so  as  to  avoid  spoiling  the  run- 
ning of  the  plow  by  sharpening,  as  is  the  case 
when  the  shares  are  riveted  and  welded  ;  and 
so  that  the  shares  can  be  made  with  much  less 
cost  and  risk  than  in  either  the  common  way 
of  riveting  and  welding  or  of  punching  holes 
and  fitting  for  bolts. 


3,576.     AARON    SMITH,     Bloomfield, 

Mich.      Plows.      May  6,  1844. 

Claim.  I  am  fully  aware  that  mold-boards 
have  been  made  with  the  lines  straight  which 
are  parallel  to  its  base,  but  not  parallel,  as  I 
believe,  to  the  edge  u  s  of  the  board  ;  and  I 
am  also  aware  that  lines  radiating  from  an  as- 
sumed-point have  been  applied  to  the  forming 
of  the  face  of  a  mold-board,  such  lines  having 
been  straight,  or  of  such  a  curvature  as  may 
have  been  preferred  by  the  maker ;  but  such 
assumed  radiating-point  has  been  below  the 
base-line  of  the  mold-board,  and  has  conse- 
quently failed  in  effecting  the  purpose  intend- 
ed. I  do  not  therefore  claim  anything  new  in 
the  principle  ;  but  I  do  claim  to  have  devised 
a  mode  of  carrying  out  the  principle  upon 
which  my  mold-board  is  formed,  so  as  to  have 
constructed  an  instrument  more  perfect  in  its 
action  than  any  hitherto  made.  And  I  will 
here  observe  that  while  I  have  given  such  pre- 
cise measurements  and  proportions  as  I  have 
found  and  verily  believe  to  be  the  best  in  prac- 
tice, they  may  be  deviated  from  to  a  slight  ex- 
tent without  essentially  changing  the  construc- 
tion of  the  improved  plow.  The  radiating  and 
parallel  lines,  for  example,  may  be  slightly 
curved,  instead  of  being  straight.  The  partic- 
ular outline  may  also  be  in  some  degree  chang- 
ed, while  the  whole  structure  would  remain 
substantially  as  described,  and  my  right  be  as 
readily  violated  as  though  such  colorable 
changes  had  not  been  made. 

4,488.     JOHN  M.  MAY,  Philadelphia,  Pa. 
Plows.     May  2,  1846. 

Claim.  1.  Making  the  landside,  the  bed  of 
the  share,  and  the  standard  all  in  one  piece  of 
sheet  steel  metal,  cut  out  in  the  manner  de- 
scribed, so  as  to  afford  greater  stability  and  to 
reduce  the  cost  of  construction. 

2.  Making  the  colter  with  two  points  and 
two  cutting  edges  and  secured  to  the  landside 
of  the  standard  to  admit  of  reversing  end  for 
end,  and  inclining  the  forward  point  up  or 
down,  for  the  purpose  and  in  the  manner  de- 
scribed. 

3.  Connecting  the  axle-tree  of  the  guide 
wheels  with  the  beam  by  means  of  adjustable 
arms  to  afford  a  means  of  directing  the  plow, 
as  herein  described. 

10,031.     SAMUEL  HULBERT,  Ogdens-

PLOWS. 


CHARLES  NEWBOLD,   Burlington,    N. 

J.     Plows.     June  26,  1797. 

No  Claim.  The  plow  to  be  (except  the 
handles  and  beam)  of  solid  casf  iron,  consisting 
of  a  standard,  sheath  and  mold  plate.  The 
sheath  serves  a  double  purpose  of  colter  and 
sheath  and  the  mold  plate  serves  for  n  share  or 
point  and  mold  board,  that  is  to  cut  and  turn 
the  furrow. 

CHARLES  NEWBOLD,    Burlington,    N. 

J.     Plows.     June  26,  1797. 

No  Claim. 
A,  the  beam. 
B  and  C,  the  handles. 

D,  the  mold  board. 

E,  the  landside. 

F,  the  share. 

RICHARD  B.  CHENOWETH,  Baltimore, 

Md.     Plows.     Nov.  25,  1808. 

No  Claim.  The  beam,  handles,  and  sword, 
all  of  wood,  are  nearly  similar  in  their  con- 
struction to  those  of  the  common  plow.  The 
landside  and  mold  board,  both  of  cast  iron, 
are  connected  with  wrought  screws,  and  there 
is  attached  to  the  upper  side  of  the  moldboard 
a  share,  which  in  its  shape  differs  from  any 
other  now  in  practice,  it  being  fastened  on  the 
upper  side,  of  the  mold  board  with  screws,  the 
point  doubling  over  but  running  even  with  the 
landside,  and  leaving  a  hollow  under  the  mold 
board,  so  that  small  stones,  will  pass  without 
interruption.  It  is  made  of  wrought  iron  whose 
edge  is  steeled,  and  weighing  from  four  to  eight 
pounds,  according  to  the  size  of  the  plow. 

In  Pennsylvania,  Maryland,  and  Virginia, 
particularly  in  Maryland,  the  farmers  prefer  a 
plow  of  the  above  construction  for  deep  plow- 
ing, and  its  great  use  is  that  any  number  of 
shares  will  fit  one  plow,  besides,  it  can  be  kept 
in  repair  at  less  expense  than  any  other. 

To  the  end  of  the  share,  but  through  the 
beam,  the  colter  is  attached,  which  in  its  make 
differs  very  little  from  the  one  commonly  used. 
The  clevis  varies  in  its  form,  according  to  the 
fancy  of  the  owner  of  the  plow. 

GEORGE   D.    AVERY,    Wood    Co.    Va. 

Plows.     Dec,  28,  1818. 

Claim.  1.  The  body  of  the  plow,  before 
specified,  together  with  its  use  and  connection 
with  other  parts  of  the  plow,  as  my  invention 
and  improvement. 

2.  The  improvement  of  the  mold-board,  be- 
fore specified,  together  with  its  use  and  con- 
nection, with  other  parts  of  the  plow,  as  my 
invention  and  improvement. 

3.  The  landside  before  specified  together 
with  its  use  and  connection  with  other  parts  of 
the  plow,  as  my  invention,  and  improvement. 

4.  The  top  before  specified  together  with  its 
use  and  connection  with  other  parts  of  the 
plow,  as  my  invention  and  improvement. 


5.  The  brace  bar  before  specified  together 
with  its  use  and  connection,  with  other  parts 
of  the  plow,  as  my  invention  and  improve- 
ment. 

6.  The  share  before  specified  together  with 
its  use  and  connection  with  other  parts  of  the 
plow,  as  my  invention  and  improvement. 

7.  The  manner  of  securing  the  beam  to  the 
body  of  the  plow,  before  specified  and  des-. 
cribed  as  my  invention  and  improvement. 

8.  The  beam  before  specified  together  with 
its  use  and  connection  with  other  parts  of  the 
the  plow,  as  my  invention  and  improvement. 

STEPHEN  McCORMICK,  Farquier,    Co. 

Va.     Plows.     Feb.  3,  1819. 

No  Claim.  This  plow  has  a  plate  of  wrought 
iron  added  to  a  bar  which  forms  the  landside, 
point,  and  share.  There  is  a  mortise  hole 
through  the  share  near  the  bar  to  receive  the 
sheath  and  brace. 

The  mold  board  is  made  of  cast  iron,  and  is 
so  constructed  as  to  fit  on  the  share  end.  It 
has  a  perpendicular  landside  of  ten  inches  or 
less,  (agreable  to  the  size  of  a  Plow,)  which 
has  a  shoulder,  that  butts  against  the  sheath. 
The  front  part  of  the  mold  board  has  a  gradual 
rise  to  the  highest  part  of  the  lower  edge  of  the 
mold  board,  and  has  a  circular  shape  which 
forms  a  gradual  rise  to  a  right  angle  to  the 
landside.  The  upper  edge  widens  gradually 
until  it  hangs  over  the  heel  or  bottom  part  six  or 
eight  inches.  The  mold  board  is  confined  to 
the  sheath  by  two  rivets  and  by  two  to  the 
stilt.  The  shares  is  confined  to  the  mold-board 
by  a  brace  passing  in  front  of  the  sheath 
through  the  wood  or  by  this  side  of  an  iron 
beam,  which  is  fastened  by  a  screw  ;  also,  a 
screw  passing  through  near  the  edge  of  the 
mold-board  and  share.  The  head  is  confined 
by  a  screw  to  the  stilt. 

The  beam  is  made  of  iron  ;  is  about  six  feet 
long,  with  a  considerable  curve,  two  inches 
and  a  half  wide,  and  one  and  an  eighth  thick, 
which  is  large  enough  for  three  horses.  The 
front  end  has  holes  to  admit  an  open  ring,  or 
clevis;  also,  a  hole  through  the  other  end, 
where  it  comes  into  the  stilt,  which  is  confined 
by  a  rivet  pin.  This  beam  is  let  into  the  top 
of  the  sheath,  which  is  made  of  wood,  and  is 
confined  by  a  cap  of  thin  iron.  The  beam  has 
a  band  of  iron  about  five  inches  in  front  of  the 
sheath,  which  is  large  enough  on  the  under 
edge  of  the  beam  to  admit  a  hook  of  one  end 
of  a  brace  which  passes  through  the  sheath 
and  stilt  near  the  heel  of  the  plow,  which  is 
fastened  by  a  screw.  The  stilts  are  made  of 
wood,  about  five  and  a  half  feet  long. 

Z.   HARRIS,  Hartford,  N.  Y.     Plows.     Mar. 

17,  1819. 

No  Claim.  This  plow  is  different  from  all 
other  plows,  inasmuch  as  the  landside  is  com- 


310 


PLOWS. 


posed  of  three  plates,  which  are  fixed  over 
each  other,  and  the  lower  or  under  part  of  the 
plow  is  composed  of  two  plates,  with  other 
pieces  combined  and  connected,  as  herein- 
after described.  The  first  landside-plate  and 
the  under  plate  are  cast  together,  each  in  their 
proper  direction  or  position,  which  is  nearly 
at  right  angles.  The  lower  part  of  the  land- 
side  is  so  formed  as  to  be  of  double  the  thick- 
ness of  the  upper  part,  so  that  the  upper  part 
may  receive  the  cutter,  which  fits  the  sunken 
part  and  rests  on  the  projecting  thickness, 
.which  forms  an  angle  of  about  twelve  degrees, 
rising  toward  the  back  of  the  plow.  At  the 
upper  part  of  said  angular  line  there  is  a  groove 
or  cavity  with  a  number  of  indents  for  the  pur- 
pose of  receiving  the  hooked  part  of  the  cut- 
ter, by  which  it  may  be  extended  at  pleasure 
when  the  wearing  of  the  cutter  requires  it. 
The  cutter  is  a  plate  of  steeled  iron,  formed  to 
the  shape  of  the  plow  in  front  and  of  a  thick- 
ness so  as  to  fill  up  the  sunken  part  before  de- 
scribed. The  under  side  of  the  upper  part  of 
the  cutter  extends  in  a  narrow  form,  having  a 
hook  at  the  end,  which  bends  downward  and 
catches  in  the  indents  before  mentioned. 
When  the  last-mentioned  plate  or  cutter  is  in 
its  place  it  causes  the  surface  of  the  landside  to 
be  flush  and  even.  Over  the  above-described 
plates  is  placed  another  plate,  which  may  be 
called  the  "  shelter-plate,"  as  it  receives  all 
the  wear  of  the  landside.  It  extends  the  whole 
length  of  the  plow  and  covers  the  unfler 
structure.  The  front  part  partakes  of  the  shape 
of  the  cutter  and  recedes  a  little  from  it.  It  is 
fastened  either  by  screws  or  bolts,  which  make 
the  whole  landside  firm  and  secure.  The  plate 
of  the  under  side  of  the  plow,  which  is  cast  with 
the  first  plate  of  the  landside,  has  on  its  upper 
surface  an  indented  groove,  the  indents  of 
which  receive  the  hooked  part  of  a  straight  bar, 
which  lies  fixed  in  the  groove  and  projects  in 
front  of  the  plow  and  forms  what  is  called  the 
"  nose.''  This  bar,  as  it  wears  in  plowing, 
may  be  extended  and  turned  at  pleasure.  On 
the  right-hand  side  of  the  above-mentioned 
groove  there  is  a  rising  ratchet  or  toothed  edge, 
the  indents  of  which  prevent  the  under  cutter 
from  shifting  its  situation  when  in  the  act  of 
plowing.  The  under  cutter  is  formed  of  a 
proper  shape  to  suit  the  under  part  of  the  plow, 
and  is  made  either  of  wrought-iron  steeled  or 
entirely  of  iron.  The  inner  side  is  bent  down- 
ward for  the  purpose  of  catching  in  the  ratchets 
or  teeth,  before  mentioned,  when  wanted  to  be 
brought  forward  when  it  wears  in  plowing. 
Toward  the  inner  side  of  said  cutter  there  is  a 
long  perforation  for  the  purpose  of  admitting 
through  it  the  staples  rising  from  the  cast  plate, 
which  fastens  the  cutter  by  a  key. 

The  mold-board  is  a  separate  piece,  and 
made  of  cast-iron,  having  proper  staples  or 
bolts  in  their  proper  situations  for  the  purpose 
of  fixing  it  by  keys  or  otherwise,  or  it  may  be 
fixed  by  screws. 

This  new  construction .  of  a  plow  may  be 
adapted  to  any  plow  already  in   use,  and  the 


cutters  may  be  made  either  of  steel,  wrought- 
iron,  or  cast-iron. 

JETHRO    WOOD,    Poplar   Ridge,   N.  Y. 

Plows.     Sep.  i,  1819. 

Claim,  i.  Constructing  the  part  of  the  plow 
heretofore  and  to  this  day  generally  called  the 
"mold-board,"  in  the  manner  hereinafter  men- 
tioned. 

2.  The  mold-board,  which  is  the  result  of 
profound  reflection  and  of  numberless  experi- 
ments, is  a  sort  of  piano-curvilinear  surface,  as 
hereinbefore  stated,  having  the  following  bear- 
ings and  relations : 

3.  An  exclusive  privilege  in  the  inventions 
and  improvements  made  by  him  in  the  con- 
struction of  the  cutting-edge  of  the  mold-board, 
or  what  may  be  called  in  plain  language  "  the 
plowshare." 

4.  The  exclusive  right  of  securing  the  han- 
dles of  his  plow  to  the  mold-board  and  land- 
side  of  the  plow  by  means  of  notches,  ears, 
loops,  or  holders  cast  with  the  mold-board  and 
landside,  respectively,  and  serving  to  receive 
and  contain  the  handles  without  the  use  of  nuts 
and  screws. 

5.  An  exclusive  right  to  his  invention  and 
improvement  in  the  mode  of  fitting,  adapting, 
and  adjusting  the  cast-iron  landside  to  the  cast- 
iron  mold-board. 

6.  The  right  of  varying  the  dimensions  and 
proportions  of  the  plow  and  of  its  several  sec- 
tions and  parts  in  the  relation  of  somewhat 
more  and  somewhat  less  of  length,  breadth, 
the  thickness,  and  composition  according  to

Plows.     Oct.  1,  1825. 

Claim.  1.  Believing  that  this  mode  or  rule 
of  attaining  a  proper  shape  for  the  molding  part, 
or  what  is  commonly  called  the  "face"  of  the 
mold-board  of  the  plow,  is  an  original  inven- 
tion of  my  own  not  heretofore  used  or  ever 
known,  and  that  it  is  a  useful  and  important 
improvement  in  the  plow,  claim  the  whole 
exclusive  privilege  of  making,  using,  and  vend- 
ing the  same  to  others  to  make,  use  and  vend, 
and  that  in  all  the  variety  of  simple  changes 
that  may  be  made  conformably  to  the  rule 
heretofore  described.

end  of  the  beam  by  turning  it  to  the  right  or 
left,  and  of  making  the  hind  end  of  it  fast  to 
the  handle  higher  or  lower,  and  the  applica- 
tion of  the  blocks  between  the  beam  and  the 
standard,  and  the  beam  and  the  handle. 

7.  The  mode  of  applying  the  colter  to  the 
side  of  the  beam  instead  of  through  a  mortise 
in  it,  and  more  especially  that  of  the  particu- 
lar manner  of  fastening  the  sward-colter  to  the 
plow  and  using  it  so  as  not  to  cut  the  sod  un- 
til the  point  of  the  share  has  raised  it  up  so  as 
to  have  it  on  a  strain.

ROBERT  SWEENY,  Warren,  Co.    Ohio. 

Plows.     May  18,  1827. 

No  Claim.  The  mold  being  of  cast  iron, 
with  a  square  shoulder  to  rest  on  the  sheath, 
with  two  square  countersunk  holes,  through 
which  screws  are  placed,  the  one  fastening  the 
mold  to  the  sheath  and  the  other  fastening  the 
share  to  the  mold.  On  the  hinder  part  of  said 
mold,  there  is  a  limb  projecting  from  the  in- 
side, through  which  a  screw  also  passes  to  the 
share,  making  fast  the  hinder  part  of  said  mold 
to  the  hinder  part  of  said  share.  There  are 
also  two  holes  through  the  mold,  through 
which  rivets  are  placed  fastening  said  mold  to 
the  sheath.  There  also  two  other  holes  through 
which  rivets  are  placed  fastening  said  mold  to 
the  right  hand  handle  of  said  plow. 

The  share  is  made  of  wrought  iron  a  wrought 
landside  with  steel  on  the  heel  and  edge  and 
also  a  steel  point  extending  back,  covering  the 
point  of  the  mold  to  prevent  roots,  &c,  from 
lodging  under  said  mold.  There  are  also  two 
holes  in  the  share,  one  before  and  the  other 
back,  to  receive  the  screws  from  the  mold 
aforesaid. 

The  cutter  of  said  plow  is  made  of  wrought

within  half  an  inch  of  its  point,  and  made  fast 
to  the  share  by  a  hook  welded  on  its  inside  the 
upper  end  of  which  penetrates  the  beam  and  is 
made  fast  by  a  screw  on  top.  There  is,  further 
more  an  iron  bolt  passing  through  the  beam 
and  sheath,  bracing  the  whole  together. 

The  beam  handles  and  sheath  of  said  plow 
are  constructed  similar  to  those  of  other  plows 
now  in  use  the  improvement  here  claimed,  as 
aforesaid,  differing  from  other  plows  now  in 
use  particularly  in  the  cutter,  which  is  en- 
tirely new,  the  mold  differing  also  from  other 
plows  now  in  use  by  having  the  screw  behind 
and  in  the  sheath,  before  described  differing 
also  in  the  manner  in  which  it  receives  the 
cutter.  The  shape  of  the  mold  also  differs 
from  others  in  use,  but  which  difference  is  in- 
describable.

EDMUND  M.  WAGGONER,  Adair  Co., 
Ky.     Plows.     Jan.  12,  1831. 

No  claim.  All  parts  pressed  by  or  coming  in 
contact  with  the  earth  are  of  metallic  substance, 
the  bar-share  and  point  of  wrought  iron  and 
steel, the  mold  or  rolling  board  of  cast  iron.  The 
bar  and  share  are  welded  together,  forming 
one  piece.  (See  Plate  A.)  The  bar  is  sloped 
projectively  from  its  center  to  the  front  point. 
(See  Plate  B,  Figures  1  and  2.)  The  share  is 
of  a  solid  triangular  shape,  forming  a  level 
base  on  top  to  the  width  of  the  rolling-board 
P  A  F  1  23,  thence  sloped  down  at  near  right 
angles,  so  as  to  form  a  smooth  and  regular  cir- 
cle with  the  face  of  the  rolling-board  from  one 
point  to  the  other,  and  upon  the  entire  face  of 
the  plow  P  B  F  3  4  5,  the  front  edge  of  the 
rolling-board  serving  as  a  colter,  being  cast 
solid  in  front,  with  a  sharp  edge  extending  up 
near  the  under  part  of  the  beam,  forming  a 
quarter-circle,  P  B  F  6  7,  having  two  wrought 
screws  cast  in  said  board,  the  one  in  its  heel, 
the  other  in  the  rear  side  of  the  solid  part  P 
A  F  4  10,  through  which  part  is  also  cast  a 
tube-hole,  terminating  two-thirds  width  in  the 
rear  of  said  board  P  A  F  5  and  B  F  14. 

The  stock  (consisting  of  a  wooden  beam,  a 
sheath,  helve,  two  handles  and  three  rounds)  is 
united  to  the  rolling-board  permanently,  with 
the  wrought  screw  in  its  rear,  which  passes 
through  the  sheath  or  helve  and  screwed  firm; 
P  B  F  8,  an  iron  rod  passing  through  (from 
the  under  part  of  the  share)  the  tube-hole  in 
the  rolling-board,  through  the  beam,  and 
screwed  by  a  tap  on  top;  P  A  F  6  and  PBF 
9  10,  an  iron  bolt  passing  through  the  face  of 
the  board  and  sheath  and  riveted.  The  han- 
dles are  put  on  with  iron  pins,  screws  and  taps; 
P  A  F  7  8  9,  a  lock  rod  or  brace  extending 
through  the  sheath  to  the  under  part  of  the 
beam,  along  the  same  near  the  end,  where  it  is 
attached  to  the  clevis  by  a  screw-driver  which 
passes  through  the  beam  and  clevis;  P  B  F  1 1 
12,  an  iron  bolt  passing  through  said  rod  or 
brace,  the  beam,  and  screwed  at  top  P  B  F  13. 
The  stock  and  rolling-board  thus  united  is 
designed  not  to  be  separated,  and  when  placed 
upon  the  bar  and  share  the  whole  is  perma- 
nently bound  together  by  the  screw  in  the  heel 
of  the  board,  a  screw-pin  in  the  front  point 
thereof,  P  A  F  10  11,  both  of  which  pass 
through  the  level  base  of  the  share  and  screwed 
by  taps  underneath,  as  also  by  the  iron  rod 
which  passes  through  the  share,  the  tube-hole 
in  the  board,  and  through  the  beam,  with  a 
screw  and  tap  on  the  top;   P    B    F    q    10.    the 


PLOWS

clevis  designed  to  give  or  take  the  land  and  to 
regulate  the  depth  of  the  plow  P  B  F  15. 

The  plow  is  adapted  to  work  with  or  with- 
out a  colter,  and  designed  for  fallowing,  ridg- 
ing and  ditching  farm  lands,  draining  marshes, 
turn  piking  roads,  and  repairing  highways. 

The  projective  slope  of  the  bar  and  share 
gives  to  the  plow  a  descending  draft,  which 
causes  it  to  draw  to  and  retain  its  hold  in  the 
earth  to  the  depth  regulated  or  required.  The 
rolling-board  and  face  of  the  share,  forming  a 
regular  circle  and  passing  on  at  near  right 
angles,  roll,  bed  and  pulverize  the  earth  at  one 
and  the  same  time,  placing  the  surface  soil  to 
the  depth  the  plow  runs  and  bringing  the  clay 
or  subsoil  upon  the  surface. 

All  parts  of  the  plow  which  are  pressed  by 
the  earth,  being  metallic,  immediately  scour 
smooth,  cut,  slide,  and  roll  off  the  earth  with- 
out friction  or  compression,  which  renders  the 
draft  extremely  light,  and  from  the  combina- 
tion of  its  parts  is  rendered  the  more  perma- 
nent by  a  hard  draft.

JOSEPH     DUDLEY,   Fleming   Co.,    Ky. 
Plows.     May  8,  1832. 
No  Claim.     The  share  and   mold-board   are 


all  in  one  piece,  and    the    landside    is    formed 
with  an- upright  bar,  that  is  attached  to  it  near 
the  point  of  welding,  so  as  to    form   a    regular 
circular  from  the  point  of  the  landside  up  the 
upright  bar  high  enough  to  receive  the  front  of. 
the  share.     The  share  is  attached  to  it  by  weld- 
ing.      The    upright    then    passes   straight    up 
through  the  beam,  and  is  secured  by  a  screw 
and  tap  on  the  top  of  the  beam.     It  is  further 
secured  by  a  brace  that  passes  from   the  heel- 
screw  across  the  upright  bar  about  two  inches 
below  the  beam,  where  it  is  secured  by  a  short 
bolt  that  passes  through   the  upright    bar   and 
brace,  with  a  screw  and  tap  on  it.     The  brace 
then  passes  on  through    the    beam,  and    is   se- 
cured on  top  of  the  beam  with  a  screw  and  tap, 
all  of  it  made  of  wrought  or  rolled  iron.     The 
heel  is  made  straight  with   the   outside    of  the 
landside-bar   and    long    enough  from  the  turn 
to  extend  eight  or  nine  inches  up  the  handles, 
with  the  head   of  the  heel-screw    countersunk 
level  with  the  bar. 

JOHN     BUCH,    Fairfield,    Ohio.      Plows. 
Dec.  28,  1832. 

No  Claim.  The  landside  and  mold-board 
are  both  of  cast-iron,  and,  as  will  be  seen  in 
the  model,  are  separate  and  detached  pieces. 
They  are  fastened  together  at  the  lower  end  of 
the  plow  by  a  lock,  and  at  the  upper  end  by  a 
screw  passing  through  the  landside,  sheath,  and 
mold-board.  The  landside  and  mold-board, 
it  will  be  seen,  are  retained  in  their  proper  re- 
lative positions  and  made  secure  by  a  large 
screw  passing  from  the  bottom  of  the  plow 
through  the  mold-board  and  beam,  to  which  it 
is  fastened  by  a  tap.  It  will  also  be  observed 
that  the  sheath  passes  up  through  the  beam, 
and  is  made  fast  to  the  landside  of  the  plow  by 
an  iron  loop,  which  forms  a  part  of  said  land- 
side. 

This  improvement  I  claim  as  one  entirely 
novel,  and  it  has  the  effect  of  rendering  the 
whole  architecture  of  the  machine  more  firm, 
consolidated,  and  secure  than  any  other  now 
in  use,  and  is  so  considered  by  a  number  of 
practical  men  who  have  tested  its  operation. 
The  share  is  movable  and  of  wrought-iron,  and 
is  attached  to  the  plow  in  the  manner  as  repre- 
sented in  the  model.  The  advantage  of  this 
is  obvious,  as  when  necessity  requires  it  can 
be  taken  off  to  be  either  sharpened  or  steeled. 

The  manner  in  which  the  share  is  attached 
to  the  mold-board  and  secured  to  the  landside 
differs  from  all  other  plows  I  have  ever  seen, 
and  will  be  particularly  observed  by  referring 
to  the  model. 

The  model,  it  will  be  further  observed,  is 
that  of  a  left-hand  plow.  I  also  manufacture 
them  right-handed,  differing  in  no  other  par- 
ticular from  the  model  herewith  submitted, 
both  of  which  kinds  I  wish  to  be  embraced  in 
the  Letters  Patent.

seventeen  inches  at  the  bottom,  of  cast-iron, 
being  thirteen  inches  high.  The  landside, 
eighteen  inches  long,  of  cast-iron,  it  and  the 
mold-board  being  cast  solid  or  in  one  piece. 
The  top  of  the  mold  has  a  small  stem  two  inches 
wide  and  one  inch  thick  to  pass  through  the 
beam  ;  a  share  thirteen  inches  long  and  two 
inches  wide,  cast  solid  with  the  mold-board  ; 
a  colter,  of  steel,  twelve  inches  long  and  six 
inches  wide,  two  inches  on  the  landside  and 
three  on  the  mold-board,  fastened  by  two  screw- 
bolts  passing  through  the  colter  and  mold- 
board  ;  a  second  share,  of  steel,  fifteen  inches 
long  and  seven  inches  wide,  fitting  up  to  a 
shoulder  or  rabbet  in  the  mold-board  and  run- 
ning an  inch  and  a  half  under  the  first  share 
and  made  fast  by  two  screw-bolts,  the  colter 
and  second  share  being  welded  at  the  point  ;  a 
plate  of  steel  put  on  the  outside  of  the  land- 
side,  fastened  by  two  screw-bolts;  a  wooden- 
beam  four  feet  long,  and  two  handles  three 
feet  long,  handles  fastened  together  by  three 
rings. 

What  I  claim  as  my  invention  or  improve- 
ment in  the  above  is — 

The  cast-iron  share  or  first  share,  cast  solid 
with  the  mold  board,  the  landside,  cast  solid 
or  in  one  piece,  the  steel  plate  on  the  landside, 
the  second  share  being  of  steel  and  split  and 
made  so  as  to  fit  on  a  shoulder  on  the  mold- 
board  and  cover  the  second  share  on  top  and 
project  an  inch  and  a  half  on  the  under  side, 
being  welded  fast  to  the  colter  at  the  point, 
fastened  by  two  screw-bolts  to  the  mold-board, 
the  colter,  of  steel  or  iron,  split  and  made  ex- 
tending three  inches  on  the  mold-board,  two 
and  a  half  on  the  landside,  fastened  by  two 
screw-bolts,  the  mold-board  being  of  the  form 
of  the  Gary  or  Bull  plow. 

ELISHA   KELLY,  Bainbridge,  Ohio. 
Plows.     Aug.  26,  1833. 

Claim.  The  rod  D,  for  securing  the  handles 
A,  to  the  mold-board,  in  connection  with  the 
hasp.     The  removable  cutter  C,  of  sheet  iron. 

PETER    HASTINGS,    Dagsboro,  Del. 
Plows.     Dec.  19,  1833. 

No  Claim.  The  invention  consists  in  cast- 
ing the  movable  share  and  landside  sufficiently 
deep  to  protect  the  front  of  the  mold-board 
from  most  of  the  wear  to  which  it  is  exposed. 
To  effect  this  object  a  recess  is  cast  in  the  mold- 
board  sufficiently  large  and  deep  to  receive  the 
improved  share  and  landside.  The  share  is 
then  attached  to  the  mold-board  by  bolts  and 
screws.  The  cutting  of  the  sword  is  performed 
wholly  by  the  cutting-edge  of  the  share,  and 
not  by  any  part  of  the  mold-board,  whereby  a 
considerable  saving  of  mold-boards  is  accom- 
plished. 

ANTHONY  TAYLOR,  Green  Township, 

Ohio.     Plows,     Dec.  26,  1833. 

No  Claim.  The  colter  instead  of  being  a 
separated  piece  or  attached  to  the  mold  board 
forms  a  part  of  the  share,  which    is   joined    to 


the  upper  surface  of  the  mold  board  rather 
than  the  nether,  as  the  others  permitting  the 
part  that  forms  the  colter  to  rest  about  one 
third  its  base  upon  the  mold  board  the  upper 
edge  of  the  share  bedded  into  the  mold-board, 
so  that  they  present  an  even  surface  to  the 
furrow  the  share  and  colter  fastened  to  the 
mold-board  by  means  of  a  screw  that  passes 
throngh  the  share  and  mold  board  and  tightens 
underneath  by  means  of  a  nut ;  second,  the 
horizontal  surface  of  the  mold  board  is  nearly 
spherical  instead  of  being  straight,  the  advan- 
tage of  which  is  it  operates  with  the  colter  to 
facilitate  the  breaking  of  the  turf;  third,  the 
left  side  of  the  mold  board  is  continued  up, 
forming  the  bolt  that  passes  through  the  beam 
of  the  plow,  having  a  shoulder  to  give  the 
beam  a  permanent  rest ;  fourth,  the  front  sur- 
face of  the  mold  board  from  the  angle  of  the 
share  and  colter  to  the  rear  point  has  no  con- 
cavity, as  the  plows  of  which  is  an  improvement 
but  is  straight,  entering  the  ground  upon  the 
the  principle  of  the  inclined  plane. 

DICHARD  B.  CHENOWETH,  Baltimore, 

Md.     Plows.     Mar.  17,  1834. 

Claim,  I  distinctly  claim  the  application  of 
the  share,  with  two  points  and  which  admits 
of  a  reverse  application  to  the  mold  board  and 
which  by  means  of  reversing  the  application 
sharpens  itself  by  use. 

JAMES  JACOBS,  Maysville,  Ky.     Plows. 

July  8,  1834. 

Claim.  The  construction  of  the  described 
mold-board,  lies  on  the  concavity  and  convex- 
ity produced,  on  the  surface  to  obtain  the  rules 
laid  down  for  drawing  the  lines  on  which  the 
segments  of  the  different  circles  are  to  be 
struck  according  to  the  desired  end  by  means 
of  or  according  to  the  arch  given  by  the  per- 
pendiculars, raised  from  them. 

NATHAN  ROBINSON,   Sackets  Harbour, 

N.  Y.     Plows.     Feb.  13,  1835. 

Claim.  A  plow  formed  upon  the  princi- 
pals, or  in  the  manner  herein  set  forth,  by 
which  it  is  made  to  run  more  easily  and  cleanly 
than  those  now  in  use. 

BENJAMIN  JOHNSON,  Hickory    Grove, 

Ills.     Plows.     Feb.  20,   1835. 

The  advantages  of  the  first  are  that  the 
draft  is  rendered  more  lighter  in  consequence 
of  their  being  less  friction,  the  spaces  between 
the  ribs  preventing  that  clogging  and  accu- 
mulation of  earth  and  soil,  common  to  the 
mold  board,  and  that  all  or  any  part  of  the 
ribs  can  be  taken  off  at  pleasure  and  a  heavy 
plow  made  light,  according  to  the  the  work  to 
be  performed.  By  the  second  the  stock  is 
much  simplified  and  rotting  prevented  there 
being  no  wood  coming  in  contact  with  the 
earth.  By  the  third  the  cost  of  the  plow  with 
this  improvement  will  be  much  less  than  those 
in  common  use  it  being  so  simple  and  so  cheap 
construction.  By  this  means,  also,  the  pitch 
of  the  plow  can  be  regulated   in  a  moment   bv

the  screws  and  bolts  passing  through  the  eyes 
and  beam.  The  durability  of  the  plow  so  far 
as  the  stock,  and  ribs  are  concened  is  greatly 
increased  from  the  fact  that  all  the  wood  is 
above  ground  and  no  joints  are  exposed  to  re- 
ceive the  water  and  thereby  occasion  rot. 

Claim.  I.  The  first  and  most  important  is 
in  the  use  of  the  ribs  in  place  of  the  common 
mold  board. 

2.  The  heel  of  the  plow  extending  up  to  the 
wood. 

3.  The  plan  of  stocking  the  plow. 

NATHAN  BAKER,  Penn  Township,  Mich. 

Plows.     Mar.  24,   1835. 

No  claim.  In  the  triangle  No.  1  is  a  repre- 
sentation of  the  curvature  of  the  fore  part  of 
the  mold-board,  and  it  varies  from  a  straight 
line  nineteen  and  one-half  inches  in  length, 
extended  from  the  point  of  the  plowshare  to 
the  height  of  eleven  and  one-half  inches  per- 
pendicular. The  first  distance,  taken  at  right 
angles  from  said  line  six  inches  from  the  point 
of  said  share,  was  found  to  be  two  and  one- 
half  inches  to  said  mold-board;  second  dis- 
tance, taken  as  aforesaid,  ten  and  one-half 
inches  from  said  point  is  two  and  three-quar- 
ters inches;  third  distance,  taken  as  aforesaid, 
fourteen  and  one-half  inches  from  said  point, 
is  two  inches. 

In  triangle  No.  2  is  a  representation  of  the 
curvature  of  the  aforesaid  mold-board,  showing 
its  variation  from  a  straight  line  thirty-eight 
inches  long,  extending  from  the  point  of  the 
plowshare  to  the  extreme  hind  part  of  the  mold- 
board  to  the  height  of  ten  inches  perpendicu- 
lar. The  first  distance,  taken  from  said  line 
nine  inches  from  the  point  of  said  plowshare, 
and  at  right  angles,  is  one  and  three-quarters 
inch  from  said  line  to  the  mold-board;  second 
distance,  fifteen  inches  from  said  line,  taken  as 
aforesaid,  is  two  inches;  third  distance,  taken 
as  aforesaid,  twenty-one  inches  from  said 
point,  two  and  three-eights  inches;  fourth  dis- 
tance, taken  as  aforesaid,  twenty-seven  inches 
from  said  point,  two  and  three-eighths  inches; 
fifth  distance,  taken  as  aforesaid,  thirty-three 
inches  from  said  point,  one  and  one-half 
inch. 

In  the  tiiansje  No.  3  is  a  representation  of 
the  mold-board,  showing  its  variation  from  a 
straight  line  twenty-four  inches  long,  extend- 
ing from  the  point  of  said  plowshare,  and  di- 
viding the  angle  formed  by  the  intersection  of 
the  other  two  lines  in  two  equal  parts,  to  the 
top  of  the  mold-board  to  the  height  of  eleven 
inches.  The  first  distance,  taken  at  right 
angles  from  said  line  to  the  mold-board,  nine 
inches  from  the  point  of  said  share,  is  three  and 
one-half  inches;  second  distance,  taken  as 
aforesaid,  fourteen  inches  from  said  point,  is 
four  inches;  third  distance,  taken  as  aforesaid, 
nineteen  inches  from  said  point,  is  three  and 
one-half  inches. 

Figure  No.  1  is  a  side  view  of  said  plow.  A 
is  the  beam,  six  feet  long;  B,  the  colter,  the 
point  made  of  steel,  and  extending  six   inches 


beyond  the  point  of  the  plowshare;  C,  the 
mold-board,  including  the  front  side,  which  is 
four  inches  wide;  D*and  E,  the  handles.  Fig. 
No.  1,  is  a  top  view  of  the  said  plow.  A  is  the 
mold-board,  made  of  cast  iron;  C,  the  plow- 
share or  point,  made  of  steel,  twenty-one  inches 
in  length  and  four  inches  in  breadth. 

The  said  steel-pointed  plow  will  turn  a  fur- 
row square  over,  so  as  to  make  a  joint  with  the 
preceding  furrow  when  propelled  by  any  suffi- 
cient power. 

WILLIAM  M.  WALKER,,  Washington- 
ville,  Pa.     Plows.     Oct.  6,  1835. 

Claim.  The  peculiar  formation  of  the  sheath 
or  standard,  and  the  projections  on  the  inner 
sides  of  the  mold-board  which  give  the  sheath 
or  standard  a  leaning  position,  and  cause  the 
plow  to  take  land  as  described. 

JOHN     DOLHANER,      Canton,     Ohio. 
Plows.     Jan.  15,  1836. 

No  Claim.  1.  In  the  beam,  which  is  described 
as  follows,  to  wit:  length  of  the  beam,  (from 
letter  D  to  letter  E  in  the  drawing,)  five  feet 
six  inches.  The  part  of  the  drawing  marked 
D  C  E  represents  the  landside,  and  not  the  top 
of  the  beam.  From  letter  D  to  letter  C  is  two 
feet  six  inches,  and  on  the  landside  straight. 
At  letter  C  it  curves  to  the  left  toward  mold- 
board  side,  or,  rather,  at  that  point  describes 
an  obtuse  angle,  and  thence  runs  straight  to 
letter  E,  three  feet,  and  one  and  three-fourths 
inch  to  the  left  of  a  straight  line  continued  as 
between  D  and  C.  The  foregoing  represents 
a  left-hand  plow.  For  a  right-hand  plow  it 
should  be  reversed.  The  effect  is  that  it  causes 
the  plow  to  cut  the  proper  quantity  of  land, 
and  in  a  great  measure  to  guide  itself. 

2.  In  the  mold-board  and  landside,  which 
are  so  constructed  that  the  landside  enters  a 
groove  in  the  mold-board  at  such  a  distance 
from  the  point  of  the  latter  as  not  to  weaken 
it,  and  is  riveted  so  as  to  give  permanency  and 
strength,  whereas,  according  to  the  old  modes 
of  constructing,  the  landside  is  merely  lapped 
on  the  mold-board  for  reference.  (See  draw- 
ing at  letter  A.) 

3.  In  that  part  of  the  landside  which  is  fast- 
ened to  the  handle.  The  particular  improve- 
ment consists  in  this,  that  the  upper  part  of 
the  back  end  projects  backward  in  such  a  man- 
ner as  to  strengthen  the  handle  by  covering  it. 
(See  drawing  at  letter  B.) 

DAVID  PROUTY  AND  JOHN  MEARS, 

Dorchester,    Mass.     Plows.     Mar.  4,    1836. 

Claim.  1.  The  inclining  the  standard  and 
landslide  so  as  to  form  an  acute  angle  with  the 
plane  of  the  share. 

2.  The  placing  the  beam  on  a  parallel  to 
the  landside  within  the  body  of  the  plow,  and 
its  center  nearly  in  the  perpendicular  of  the 
center  of  resistance. 

3.  The  forming  the  top  of  the  standard  for 
brace  and  draft.

NATHAN     LOCKLIN,     Sparta,     N.    Y. 

Plows.     Apr.  28,  1836. 

Claim.  1.  The  peculiar  formation  of  the 
mold-board,  landside  and  share,  as  described. 

2.  The  drag  at  the  rear  end  of  the  mold- 
board. 

JACOB  PLANK,   Carlisle,  Pa.,  Plows, 

June  2,  1836. 

Claim.  In  the  wing  of  the  model-board  and 
brace,  the  wing  of  the  side  piece  and  joint  in 
which  the  side  piece  fits  and  the  branched  iron 
brace  as  specified. 

JOSHUA  GIBBS,    Canton,  Ohio.     Plows. 

June  16,  1836. 

No  claim.  In  the  mold -board  which  has  on 
the  front  part  at  letter  B  in  Drawings  Nos.  1 
and  2,  a  slip-mortise  to  receive  a  tenon  on  the 
landside,  as  hereinafter  described. 

In  the  landside,  which  has  on  the  front  end, 
at  letters  A  in  Drawings  Nos.  1  and  3,  an  offset 
towards  the  mold-board,  or  a  tenon  which  laps 
into  and  closely  fills  the  slip  mortise  in  the 
mold-board,  leaving  the  outer  surface  smooth. 
The  benefits  of  these  are  that  the  two  pieces  are 
fastened  firmly  together,  and  firmness  and  so- 
lidity are  thereby  given  to  the  plow. 

.  In  the  bottom  of  the  model-board,  as  repre- 
sented in  Drawing  No.  4,  letters  C  and  D, 
which  drawing  represents  the  bottom  of  the 
model-board.  The  dotted  line  in  said  drawing 
running  at  right  angles  from  the  landside  (rep- 
resented by  letter  C)  is  the  rear  of  the  bottom 
of  the  mold-board  according  to  the  present 
mode  of  constructing  them.  The  black  line  in 
the  rear  of  this  dotted  line  (at  letter  D)  is  the 
rear  termination  in  my  improvement.  It  pro- 
jects three-fourths  of  an  inch  back  of  the  dotted 
line  and  rests  against  the  main  post.  This  for- 
mation of  the  mold-board  also  gives  greater 
strength  to  the  plow. 

In  the  long  screw  running  up  through  the 
share,  the  mold-board,  and  the  beam,  com- 
monly called  the  "  false  colter."  Instead  of 
being  straight,  according  to  the  old  mode,  it  is 
one-third  larger  in  diameter  at  the  lower  end, 
where  it  passes  through  the  share,  than  at  the 
upper  part.  After  it  has  passed  up  through  the 
mold-board,  the  head  of  the  false  colter  de- 
scribes but  half  a  circle,  leaving  one  side  of  it 
smooth,  in  order  that  it  may  pass  through  the 
share  close  to  the  bar  of  the  share.  This  plan 
leaves  the  false  colter  strong  at  the  lower  part, 
where  the  strain  comes,  and  smaller  at  the  up- 
per part,  where  it  passes  through  the  beam,  so 
as  not  to  weaken  the  beam. 

TIMOTHY  MILLER,  Pittsburg,  Pa. 

Plows.     July  2,  1836. 

Claim.  The  convex  curvature  on  the  out- 
side of  the  landside  ;  also  the  bar  on  the  inside 
of  the  landside  ;  also  the  groove  in  the  mold- 
board  ;  also  the  countersunk  hole  in  the  model- 
board  ;  also  the  bars  on  the  shares  and  projec- 
tions ;  also  the  rib  or  bar  cast  to  the  back  of 
the  model- board.

233.    BANCROFT  WOODCOCK, 

Mount  Pleasant,   Pa.       Plows.       June    14, 

l837- 

The  share  which  I  use  is  the  same  in  its  gen- 
eral form  as  that  described  in  patent  to  me 
Nov.,  23,  1836.  The  face  on  each  side  has  its 
surface  flat  from  each  cutting-edge  to  a  shoulder. 
By  this  means  I  am  enabled  to  make  the  share  so 
thin  throughout  its  width  that  as  it  wears  up 
toward  the  mold-board  it  is  still  sufficiently  so 
on  its  edge  to  pass  freely  through  the  ground. 
It  has  two  holes  through  it,  by  one  or  the  other 
of  which  it  is  bolted  to  the  mold-board. 

In  the  landside  of  my  plow,  within  a  recess 
or  depcession  I  place  a  reversing  "cutter,  the 
general  form  of  which  is  that  of  a  triangle, 
either  end  of  which  may  be  turned  forward,  so 
as  to  constitute  the  cutting-edge  formed  by  the 
junction  of  the  mold-board  and  landside  of  the 
plow.  This  reversing  cutter  may  be  fastened 
in  its  place  by  making  it  hollow,  so  as  to  re- 
ceive a  part  of  the  landside,  allowing  space 
enough  between  the  piece  and  the  cutter  to  in- 


sert a  wedge  or  wedges.  The  edges  are  made 
dovetailing  or  beveled,  to  clip  in  the  inner 
edges  and  hold  it  firmly  against  the  landside 
when  wedged.  One  of  the  edges  may  reach  to 
the  bottom  of  the  landside  ;  or  it  may  stand  a 
little  above  it,  having  a  strip  of  iron  below  it, 
which  strip  in  this  case  forms  a  side  of  the 
recess. 

I  have  also  made  an  improvement  in  the 
manner  of  making  the  renewable  point.  I  now 
prepare  a  V-formed  piece  of  iron  or  steel,  which 
fits  onto  the  shank  embracing  it  on  both  sides, 
and  fastened  to  it  by  a  rivet  passing  through 
the  whole.  The  renewable  point  is  thus  rend- 
ered more  permanent  than  upon  the  former 
plan,  and  the  shank  is  prefectly  protected  from 
grinding  out  in  wear. 

In  order  to  secure  the  landside  to  the  mold- 
board,  I  cast  the  fitting  part  with  dovetail  junc- 
tures in  such  a  way  as  that,  when  secured  to- 
gether by  wedges  passed  between  cheeks  adapt- 
ed to  that  purpose,  the  parts  interlock,  and 
retained  firmly  in  their  places. 

Claim.  1.  Making  it  with  plain  surfaces  in- 
stead of  curved  ones,  in  the  manner  described, 
continuing  such  surfaces  to  the  shoulder  on 
each  side,  so  as  to  leave  the  metal  throughout 
so  thin  that  when  it  wears  off  by  use  the  share 
will  still  present  a  thin  edge  to  the  grouud. 

2.  The  reversing  cutter,  received  into  a  re- 
cess or  the  landside  and  capable  of  having 
either  of  its  edges  presented  forward,  so  as  to 
form  the  cutting-edge  of  the  plow,  and  secured 
in  its  place  on  the  landside  by  a  wedge  or 
wedges,  or  in  any  other  manner  which  may  be 
preferred. 

3.  The  mode  of  forming  the  renewable  point, 
as  herein  specifically  set  forth. 

476.     B.  WOODCOCK,   Mount  Pleasant, 
Pa.      Plows.     Patent    233    dated    June    14, 
1837.   Reissued  Nov.    23,  1837. 
Claim.     1.  The  making  it   with  plain  sur- 
faces, instead  of  curved  ones,   in   the  manner 
described,  containing  such  surfaces'   shoulder 
on  each  side,  so  as  to  leave  the  metal  through- 
out so  thin  that  when  it  wears   off  by  use  the 
share  will  still  present  a  thin  edge  to  the  ground. 

2.  The  reversing-cutter,  received  into  a  re- 
cess on  the  landside  and  capable  of  having 
either  of  its  edges  presented  forward  so  as  to 
form  the  cutting-edge  of  the  plow,  and  secur- 
ed in  its  place  on  the  hndside  by  a  wedge  or 
wedges,  or  in  any  other  manner  which  may  be 
preferred. 

3.  The  mode  of  forming  the  renewable  point, 
as  herein  specially  set  forth,  and  the  dovetailed 
or  acute  angular  form  given  to  the  shank  of  the 
renewable  point  for  the  purpose  of  clasping 
and  holding  down  the  reversible  cutter.

(Drawing  Lost.) 

JAMES  Y.  HUNT,  Tunbridge,  Vt.    Plows. 

Dec.  24,  1824.     No  Claim. 

The  plow,  except  one  handle,  may  be  made 
as  usual,  meaning  the  wood  part  ;  the  colter, 
wrought  -  iron,  eighteen  inches  long,  with  a 
swell  in  the  hind  part  sufficiently  large  for  a 
gudgeon  to  be  put  in  three-fourths  of  an  inch 
and  also  a  gudgeon  hole  in  the  post  behind  on 
the  land-side,  of  said  dimension.  There  is  to 
be  one  land-side  made  of  cast  or  wrought  iron, 
said  land-side  to  be  one  and  a  half  inch  square, 
with  two  shims  and  mold-boards,  made  of  wood 
or  iron,  attached  to  the  same  by  welding,  screw- 
ing, or  casting.  She  land-side,  with  its  appenT 
dages,  is  to  be  connected  with  the  colter  and 
said  post  on  the  land-side  by  gudgeons  three- 
fourths  of  an  inch  diameter,  and  so  construct- 
ed that  by  turning  said  plow  over  the  shims 
may  be  shifted  in  such  a  manner  by  drawing  a 
bolt,  which  is  run  through  the  hind  post  and 
supports  the  shims  either  way.  You  may 
plow,  turning  the  earth  all  one  way,  by  plac- 
ing the  nigh  ox  in  the  furrow  going,  and  the 
off  ox  in  the  furrow  returning.  The  plow  may 
be  constructed  on  a  greater  or  smaller  scale, 
the  main  principle  contended  for  is  the  turn- 
ing the  plow  on  the  gudgeons. 

PHILIP  and  BENJAMIN  ALTENDER- 
FER,  Richmond,  Penn.  Side  Hill  Plows. 
June  11,  1829.  No  Claim. 
.  Beam  with  double  mold  -  board  pointing 
both  ways,  but  both  falling  on  the  same  side ; 
two  shares  and  two  colters  also  pointing  in 
opposite  directions,  the  space  between  the 
shares  being  closed,  and  also  the  mold-board 
being  closed  on  the  land-side.  To  the  above 
mentioned  beam  there  is  another  beam  which 
runs  or  rather  revolves  upon  a  pivot  in  the 
centre  of  the  first  mentioned  beam.  To  the 
latter  beam  the  handles  are  attached  and  when 
it  is  desired  to  turn  the  horses  it  can  be  done 
at  pleasure.  The  upper  beam  is  secured  upon 
the  lower  by  a  screw  upon  the  pivot  and  by  an 
iron  pin  at  the  end  to  which  the  handles  are  at- 
tached ;  which  pin  can  be  drawn  out  at  pleas- 
ure whenever  it  may  be  desirous  to  change  the 
the  direction  of  the  plow. 

cyrus  h.  Mccormick,  Rockbridge

on  which  the  supporting  rod  or  brace  turns. 

(Drawing   Lost.) 

CALVIN  DELANO,  Livermore,  Me.    Side 
Hill  Plows.     July  5,  1833.     No  Claim. 

There  are  two  shares,  each  eighteen  inches 
long  and  sixteen  inches  wide,  with  sockets 
made  in  the  hind  ends  to  receive  the  chips. 
The  chips  are  two  feet  long  each,  the  ends  of 
which  must  be  put  six  inches  into  the  sockets 
prepared  in  the  shares.  The  chips  and  shares 
are  opposite  each  other.  There  is  one  colter, 
one  end  put  into  one  share  and  the  other  end 
into  the  other  share.  The  wings  of  the  shares 
are  facing  each  other,  and  are  placed  sixteen 
inches  apart.  The  chips  are  put  two  feet  apart 
at  the  hindermost  ends,  and  are  connected  to- 
gether by  two  posts,  one  at  the  hind  end  and 
the  other  near  the  sockets  of  the  shares.  A 
stay  or  square  piece  of  timber  is  put  about 
twelve  inches  behind  the  wings  of  said  shares 
and  about  fifteen  inches  from  the  hind  post, 
supported  by  two  rounds  put  into  said  stay  and 
post.  One  end  of  the  mold  or  furrow  board  is 
made  fast  to  the  forward  post  and  fitted  to  each 
share.  The  other  end  is  made  fast  to  the  stay, 
the  center  of  said  mold-board  running  by  the 
stay  six  or  eight  inches.  It  commences  and 
continues  swelling  from  the  stay  to  the  end 
sufficient  to  turn  the  furrow.  The  said  mold- 
board  may  be  made  in  one  or  more  pieces. 
The  beam  is  about  five  feet  long  and  four  inches 
square  at  the  center  or  middle,  is  straight  on 
the  inside,  and  diminishes  on  the  other  sides 
to  the  ends.  The  said  beam  is  put  on  the 
landside  of  the  plow,  one  end  hung  at  the  cen- 
ter of  the  hind  post  on  a  bolt  put  through  the 
beam-post  and  handle,  secured  by  a  nut  and 
also  by  a  knee  made  fast  to  the  beam,  which 
goes  on  the  forward  post  so  as  to  slip.  There 
is  a  clasp  made  fast  to  the  beam  and    made   to 


574 


SIDE-HILL 


go  round  the  colter,  so  that  the  beam  will  slip 
from  one  share  to  the  other. 

The  handles  are  about  three  feet  long,  hung 
at  the  hind  end  of  the  plow,  one  hung  at  the 
center  of  the  mold-board,  near  the  hind  end, 
with  a  hinge,  the  other  at  the  center  of  the 
hind  post  on  a  bolt  that  is  put  through  the 
beam  and  post.  The  said  handles  are  made 
fast  together  by  two  or  more  rounds,  and  hook 
up  to  the  hind  ends  of  the  chips  in  staples  there 
fixed.  Said  handles  are  made  stationary  and 
firm  at  pleasure  by  two  stay-braces,  which  are 
hung  by  hinges  to  the  upper  round  connecting 
said  handles,  and  at  the  other  end  unite  in  a 
triangular  form,  terminating  nearly  in  a  point, 
having  two  bolts  or  hooks,  one  on  each  side  of 
said  point,  for  the  purpose  of  fastening  it  in 
the  aforesaid  staples.  The  beam,  when  plow- 
ing, is  slipped  up  to  the  share,  which  receives 
the  chip  the  handles  hook  onto.  In  order  to 
go  back,  unhook  the  handles,  turn  the  plow 
over,  and  hook  the  handles  to  the  other  chip. 
When  the  team  pulls,  the  beam  will  slip  up  to 
the  other  share. 

The  plow  is  designed  for  the  purpose  of  plow- 
ing on  the  side  of  hills,  and  for  that  purpose  is 
particularly  useful. 

In  operating,  a  furrow  is  first  plowed  at  the 
foot  or  base  of  the  hill.  When  the  team  is  go- 
ing back  (returning)  another  furrow  is  plowed, 
turning  the  furrow  all  the  time  downhill.  Said 
plow  will  also  turn  well  on  level  ground. 

The  dimensions  given  are  for  a  common 
breaking-up  plow.  With  this  plow  a  team  will 
break  up  as  much  ground  on  the  side  of  a  hill 
as  it  will  upon  level  land  with  the  common 
plow  in  the  same  time.

and  Tilling  Lands.  July  9,  1861.  Patented 
in  Eng.  July  14,  1858. 

This  invention  relates  to  that  class  of  ma- 
chinery for  plowing  by  steam  in  which  a  loco- 
motive steam  engine  moves  at  given  intervals 
along  one  edge  of  the  field,  and  ropes  pass  from 
the  engine  to  and  around  a  pulley  in  an  anchor, 
which  is  moved  at  intervals  along  the  opposite 
edge  of  the  field,  the  said  ropes  being  attached 
to  plows  to  draw  them  across  the  field  alter- 
nately in  opposite  directions,  and  the  invention 
consists  in  a  method  of  mounting  two  drums 
on  the  plows,  on  each  of  which  a  portion  of  the 
hauling  rope  is  wound,  so  that  they  will  take 
up  the  slack  of  the  rope  behind  them,  the 
drums  being  usually  turned  by  manual  power. 

Claim.  Mounting  on  plows  or  other  tilling 
instruments  an  apparatus  for  taking  up  the 
slack  rope  by  the  pull  of  the  rope  drawing  the 
plows  or  other  tilling  instruments,  substantially 
as  described.

July  23,  1861.  Patented  in  Eng.  Jan.  24, 
1859. 

This  invention  consists  in  the  employment 
of  a  winding  drum,  so  constructed  as  to  hold  the 
rope  firmly  and  draw  the  plow  steadily  forward, 
notwithstanding  the  rope  only  passes  partially 
around  the  drum.  On  the  periphery  of  the 
drum  is  mounted  a  series  of  levers  turning  on 
centres,  and  so  placed  that,  as  the  rope  comes 
up  to  the  drum,  it  rests  on  the  ends  of  the  levers, 
and  the  pressure  of  the  rope  causes  their  ends 
to  move  in  towards  the  center  of  the  drum. 
Immediately  beyond  the  ends  of  the  levers  a 
flange  is  formed  on  the  drum,  and  the  axes  on 
which  the  levers  turn*  being  nearer  the  centre 
of  the  drum  than  the  point  at  which  the  rope 
enters  on  the  drum,  causes  the  rope  to  become 
jammed  between  the  ends  of  the  levers  and  the 
flange  on  the  drum. 

Claim.  The  mounting  on  a  hauling  or  wind- 
ing drum  a  series  of  levers  or  instruments  on 
axes  or  centres,  in  such  a  manner  that  the 
motion  of  the  levers  or  instruments  caused  by 
the  strain  or  pressure  of  the  rope  will  nip  the 
rope,  substantially  as  described.
